Stashing the Fabric

Fabric storage...a nightmare for lots of us, right? I've tried hangers, racks, and shelves and it always seems to end up looking like a big mess. I'm a fairly organized person and it just kills me to look at this all the time:

Appalling, I know. And this is only about half of it. So I was browsing online late one night for a solution and found this:

From The Fabric Organizer. It seems so simple--hard plastic for wrapping fabric, keeping it slim, and easy to see! It's about $12 for 10, I think, which could get expensive to do a whole fabric stash. But I was thinking I could make my own--perhaps from cardboard.

Has anyone done anthing like this? Or something else that's successful? I'm taking full advantage of my pregnancy nesting instinct and want to get this organized!! The yarn stash is next....oy!
